The principal research methods are analysis and case studies. The results of the research indicate a variety of spatial and aesthetic assumptions, which aids in discovering and searching for new typological solutions that affect the quality of habitation. The research also serves to formulate the theoretical basis for the design of this type of development, and allows one to forecast further directions for the advancement of the idea of a residential city block in the foreseeable future. The findings focus on revealing certain originality and attractiveness of the form as a common determinant of the prevailing pluralism of creative attitudes in modern architecture.
